Chris MessinaThe reality of Kevin Systrom's Artifact is coming into focus now that you can follow writers on the platform.
This will become a direct competitor to Substack and Medium, and maybe even outlets like the NYT.
Bob StarrEdit: What I said below is incorrect. I double-checked and no contacts access was found. Apologies for the misinformation. (Keeping this comment as not to break the thread.)
I really wanted to use Artifact but when it required contacts access that was a dealbreaker for me. Otherwise the app looked great!
@bobstarr is it not possible to not give access? I almost never give access to my contacts.
@chrismessina let me re-download it and check. There didn't seem be, but now I'm curios.
@chrismessina Well it seems that prompt doesn't come up and when I check in the app contacts are disabled. It just didn't seem obvious that happened upon first use. Thanks for questioning my comment and making me check. Will start using this again.
@bobstarr Good to hear! Enjoy!
